What they are

Plantation shutters for Howell homes

Plantation shutters are hinged panels with adjustable louvers, set in a frame built for each window. Tilt the louvers for light and privacy, or swing the panels open to clear the window. Because they are made for each opening, shutters look like part of the house rather than an add-on.

In the older homes near downtown Howell, shutters suit tall double-hung windows and original trim, and they can be built to fit openings that have shifted a little over a century. In newer homes around town, white shutters give the front rooms a crisp look from inside and from the street, and they are a popular choice for bay windows, dining rooms and primary bedrooms.

We offer real wood shutters and, as a Norman Window Fashions certified partner, Norman Woodlore® composite shutters, which are made to resist chipping, warping and fading, a good fit for kitchens, baths and rooms that take full afternoon sun. We measure every opening and install with our own team.

  • Real wood and composite shutters
  • Louver sizes for different looks
  • Custom-built frames for each opening

Where shutters work best

Shutters suit nearly any room, and they shine in these.

Living & dining rooms

A finished, architectural look that suits traditional and modern homes.

Bathrooms & kitchens

Composite shutters such as Woodlore® handle humidity well.

Bedrooms

Close the louvers tight for privacy and a darker room.

Special shapes

Ask about shutters for arched, angled and specialty windows.

Light control, privacy and lasting value

What plantation shutters do for a home.

Precise light control

Tilt the louvers to direct light exactly where you want it.

Privacy

Close the louvers for privacy, or open the top only.

Insulating layer

Solid panels add a barrier at cold and sunny windows.

Architectural value

Shutters become part of the house and suit almost any style.

Operating options & care

No cords, easy care

Shutters have no lift cords at all: you tilt the louvers with a tilt rod or a hidden tilt mechanism and swing the panels open on their hinges. That makes them one of the safest window treatments for homes with young children and pets.

Care is simple. Dust the louvers with a soft cloth or duster, and wipe composite shutters with a damp cloth when needed. For wood shutters, avoid soaking and follow the manufacturer’s care instructions for the finish.

  • Cord-free by design
  • Visible or hidden tilt rods
  • Dust or wipe clean

Plantation shutter questions

Common questions from Howell homeowners about shutters.

Will shutters hold up in a sunny Howell room with no shade trees?
Composite shutters such as Norman Woodlore® are made to resist fading, warping and chipping, which suits rooms that take strong sun. We’ll talk through wood and composite options for each room.
Do I need approval for interior shutters on an older home in downtown Howell?
Interior shutters are installed inside your home. Any historic district or exterior rules are set by the City of Howell, so if you have a question about your property, check with the city before you order.
Wood or composite shutters: which should I choose?
Real wood shutters are lighter and can be stained. Composite shutters, such as Norman Woodlore®, are made to resist moisture, chipping and warping, so they are a strong choice for kitchens and baths. Many homes mix both.
Are plantation shutters child safe?
Yes. Shutters have no lift cords, which makes them one of the safest window treatments for homes with children and pets.
How do I clean shutters?
Dust the louvers with a soft cloth or duster. Wipe composite shutters with a damp cloth as needed, and follow the care instructions for wood finishes.
